The Lauca National Park A.Lorgnier ©
In the north, the Lauca National Park has the highest lake in the world, the Chungara, whose waters reflect the snow on the Parinacota volcano. Here, the traveller can observe llamas, vicuna and viscachas (a type of large hare with small ears and the tail of a squirrel). Rheas, small ostriches, often cross the road like anything, while hundreds of pink flamingos bow into the water. There are various species of cactus, including the candelabra-cactus, which can exceed 49 feet high. .
